    Formic Acid Dehydration Using Mechanochemically Prepared TiO2-Graphite Composites
    (Wiley, 2024-07-27) Yruela Garrido, Marta; Martín Rodríguez, Nuria; Castillejos López, Eva; Campos Castellanos, Eduardo; Conesa, José María; Rodríguez Ramos, Inmaculada; Guerrero Ruiz, Antonio R
    Commercial high surface area graphite (HSAG300) and commercial TiO2 were used to produce composite materials through a simple mechanochemical method involving milling and ultrasonic treatments. The acid and basic sites exposed on the surfaces of these materials were characterized by temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) of ammonia and carbon dioxide. The catalytic materials were tested in the dehydration reaction of formic acid to produce hydrogen-free CO. While HSAG300 is practically inactive under reaction conditions (continuous gas flow at temperatures in the range of 100–250 °C), all samples containing TiO2 are active, exhibiting high selectivity to CO without significant deactivation at moderate reaction temperatures. It is demonstrated that the presence of graphite in the catalysts enhances the specific catalytic activity of TiO2. Assuming that the dehydration reaction is catalyzed by acid sites on the TiO2 surfaces, a comparative evaluation of the surface sites reveals that the graphite-TiO2 interactions not only change the density of surface sites but also modify the strength of the acid centers of TiO2. In summary, the interaction of HSAG300 with TiO2 modulates the surface properties of the prepared composite catalysts, decreasing the total number of basic surface sites and increasing the strength of acidic sites compared to bare TiO2.

    Critical Factors Affecting the Selective Transformation of 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural to 3-Hydroxymethylcyclopentanone Over Ni Catalysts
    (Chemistry Europe, 2024-06-11) Conesa, José M.; Campos Castellanos, Eduardo; Guerrero Ruiz, Antonio R; Rodríguez Ramos, Inmaculada; Morales Vargas, Mª Virtudes; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2834-0296; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5470-7958; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4622-6008
    The ring-rearrangement of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 3-hydroxymethylcyclopentanone (HCPN) was investigated over Ni catalysts supported on different carbon supports and metallic oxides with different structure and acid-base properties. Their catalytic performance was tested in a batch stirred reactor in aqueous solution at 180 °C and 30 bar of H2. Under these conditions, the HMF hydrogenation proceeds through three possible competitive routes: (i) a non-water path leading to the total hydrogenation product, 2,5-di-hydroxymethyl-tetrahydrofuran (DHMTHF), and two parallel acid-catalyzed water-mediated routes responsible for (ii) ring-opening and (iii) ring-rearrangement reaction products. All catalyst systems primarily produced HCPN, but reaction rates and product distribution were influenced by several variables, some of them intensely analyzed in this work. The most proper conditions resulted to be the presence of the medium/strong Lewis's acidity of a Ni/ZrO2 catalyst (initial TOF=5.99 min−1 and 73 % HCPN selectivity) or the Brønsted acidity originated by an oxidized high surface area graphite, Ni/HSAG-ox (initial TOF=5.92 min−1 and 87 % HCPN selectivity). However, too high density of acidic sites on the catalyst support (Ni/Al2O3) and sulfur impurities from the HMF feedstock led to catalyst deactivation by coke deposition and Ni poisoning, respectively.
